    Hi there,

    I'm planning to purchase m1210 laptop. Just wondered how is sound quality with a Creative Audigy sound card? Is it loud enough to watch DVD movies without external speakers?

    Thank you,

    yes it's loud enough. But don't expect the best quality. They are a bit tinny. Not a big issue as it is rarely noticable in movies but you can notice a big difference in music.

    Please note however, it is not a sound card ... the upgrade is software only.

    Depending on who you type to, some like it, some don't.

    nice app iceman thanks!

    btw, the sound quality on the M1210 is pretty good. a lot more crisper and clearer than most of my buddies laptops...its also pretty loud too

    btw, anybody wanna post their config for the filter program?
